Hi everyone-
I am the new owner of a 2007 Challenger 180 215HP with 14 hours on it, and I had a couple of questions. I looked through the previous threads, and I apologize if these questions have already been answered.
1) I consistently get a message that says 12V Low, and an error code of P0562. First time it happened, the boat started spitting, sputtering and ran very poorly. I used a jump box that I had on board to get it restarted, as the battery would not restart it on its own. It would run fine for a short time and then spit and sputter again. Jump box, restart, and fine again for a minute or two, and then the same problem. I got it onto the trailer, installed a new Optima Marine battery, and went back out the next day. This time the battery light flashed briefly, went out, and all was fine. Took it for a one to two hour ride, all was good, except it would do a warning beep now and then. Not a real pattern to it, and no visual indicators on the dash. Next time we took it out, boat ran great, it only beeped three times on the whole trip (1 1/2 hours), but the 12V low was indicated along with a flashing battery light. No problem in how it ran, started, or anything else - but still the warning message and battery indicator. Any input on the 12V problem, or the random loud warning beeps?
2) I can only get the boat up to about 38-39 MPH on smooth water, and it does not seem to get out of the hole like I expected. I visually inspected the impeller and nozzle from under the boat, and saw no obstructions. Any input?
Thanks in advance - I really appreciate the input!
